to Make Cappuccino
Cappuccino is espresso topped with steamed and frothed milk. Frothing milk for cappuccino
takes practice. Do not be discouraged if it is not perfect the first time. The milk should be half
steamed (bottom of pitcher) and half froth (top of pitcher). It may take a few times before you
perfect this process.
For best results, we recommend frothing the milk in a separate pitcher and pouring the milk
into your coffee. The milk and pitcher should be cold. Do not use a pitcher which has just
been washed in warm water. We also recommend a stainless steel frothing pitcher and a
beverage thermometer, if you own one, for preparing the best froth and steamed milk.
1. The first step in making cappuccino is to make espresso. Therefore, pour in sufficient
water for the required quantity of espresso, plus enough water for the production of
steam for frothing milk. Cup level markings are indicated on the glass carafe.
